:confused: ifyou mean my name its hao
 
not proved true and not proved false yet,,,,,,,

i am not backing up what i said , i just would like to know for sure if cutting the remaining one off helps the other to grow,,

someone saying nonsense without evidence its nonsense does not overide anything else that is said ,, or does it ???:popcorn:
 
the reason i asked is because i know someone that has had a aro with only 1 barbel for about 2 years and i asked why the other has not grown yet , and the answer was that they cant bear to cut the other off to stimulate the regrowth , surely if it grew without the cutting then it should have done before 2 years time
 
the barbels will grow if you feed it nutrient food,my friend had 1 black it had no barb he gave too me then i kept for about 11 months-1 year its barbels grew but it grew 3-4 months after i received it

9 month old SR, has broken barb at the root, just hanging there. Any of you guys experience this problem and did it grow back?

50/50, and you need to cut the broken part off. If you leave it hanging, there's a great chance the barbel won't grow back

You don't need to cut the remaining one off. You just cut off the broken part, if it's hanging. If you don't see any sign of re-grow in a month or two, you may need to poke the tip, where the barbel was broken, with a needle.
 
actually my dads friends 25" silver aro broke one when he was moving it and it was handing on there by a little piece and it heal but the barbel pointed up a little and there a bit of scare tissue
